Beautifully written but hard to understand sometimes. Needs revisiting multiple times. Helps if you read the Wikipedia explanation of the book. Loved the passages on time and being in the present moment.

The poetry was pretty, but the themes were bland and overused.

I try to really sit down with this collection once a year...and shit, I feel like I’m reading a completely new work each time. Multi-faceted, familiar, foreign, and brilliant at the same time. This go around, I feel like I really read The Dry Salvages for the first time, and it killed me. Thx for everything, TS Eliot
I love Eliot as a poet, although I think I enjoy his shorter poems, as in their brevity one can truly appreciate his lucidity; it’s for those glimpses within these four quartets that he cannot be rated anything except for a 5 star read. Again, they are so resonant to the wider literary movement he was writing in of Modernism and its European counterpart of Existentialism.
Thank you Jeremy Strong. Your GQ video interview where you went over your favorite books was inspiring and I feel will prove to be instrumental to me in years to come. If you started a cult, I would join it.
It was beautifully written, but I had no idea what was going on the majority of the time
